When I open the door to my grandmother’s home, I am enveloped in the familiar scent of apple orchards. That’s when I know fall has truly arrived, bringing a feeling of comfort and familiarity. Every year, when the leaves start to change and the weather starts to cool, my grandmother lights fall-scented candles, making her home smell of fresh baked apple pie. My entire life, I’ve associated the arrival of fall with the smell of scented candles, which is why I’ve created a list of my favorite fall candles from Bath and Body Works. These candles are perfect for a chilly autumn day.

1. “Autumn Chai”

This autumn-scented candle smells like a warm cup of tea on a chilly afternoon. The scent is sweet and comforting, perfect for those who prefer subtle hints of fall instead of the strong fragrance of pumpkin spice. Just like the crunch of fallen leaves, this scent will leave you greatly satisfied.

2. “Pumpkin Pecan Waffles”

This candle’s delicious aroma whisks you to a cozy cafe on an autumn morning. Its scent is inspired by brown sugar, pecans and pumpkin spice, which make it the perfect scent for studying, reading or relaxing at home. 

3. “Old Fashioned Cider Donut”

Smelling this candle makes you feel like you’re walking through an apple orchard. Its scent is perfect for fall. If you are someone who loves the smell of a fresh baked apple pie, you will love this candle.

4. “Caramel Pumpkin Swirl”

If autumn hallmark movies had a scent, it would be this. This candle smells just like a fall fair: its sweet scent strong and nostalgic. This candle is great for watching Halloween movies with its relaxing scent. 

5. “Leaves”

This candle is great for people who love natural and earthy scents. It smells like a walk in the park on a chilly, autumn afternoon. Refreshing and calming, this candle is perfect for those who prefer more subtle scents.
